OK, so my last game was a milestone at Game 20, and this game is a milestone of being the 40th Campaign Turn. I'd love to recount the Town Events that transpired on this vaunted occasion, but due to a computer error I deleted the data, leaving only the Battle Encounter to be presented. Suffice to say that we made it back to The Crossing safely, ready for battle. We would be fighting Tunnel Fighters from the Gnawling Horde, and they brought a friend: a Feral Mercenary. We had to get to the wrecked wagon at the intersection for a bit of intelligence on these chittering fiends, and they seemed like they wanted either stop us, or were just looking for a fight.
On Turn One, we found out these guys are fast! They crossed the board and almost, not quite, made it into melee. Their crossbows fired without effect. Myrrh returned fire, killing one of their crossbowrats. Plog The Elder was climbing a ruined a ruined building.
Turn Two saw the melee close. Weppi killed one of the Gnawlings, but both she and Tundaline came away from the skirmish at the wagon with Wounds on them. Over on the other side, a rat took down Morgan before Quicktoes killed it in return. Myrrh fired ineffectively. With two of the bad guys dead, the remaining crossbowrat fled as fast as his paws could carry him. Plog cast his "Foresee" spell, allowing us until Turn 6 to investigate the wagon.
And then Turn Three saw fortunes improve. Tundaline killed a rat, Weppi managed to push back the Feral Mercenary, and Myrrh found his mark against another Gnawling. Quicktoes made a mad dash for the wagon. Plog The Elder tried to summon his Construct, but the winds of magic were against him.
Finally, Turn Four saw the conclusion of the skirmish. Tundaline killed the remaining rat, and Weppi killed the Feral Mercenary. Victory was ours and we Held The Field.
The Resolution was that Morgan had died of her wounds. She will be missed. We picked up a gold coin from the rats, and acquired a couple of Bandages. A total of one Story Point and six Adventure Points were gained. News Travelled that the Duke had increased patrols, reducing the Gnawling Horde Threat by one. Finally, and Adventure Milestone was attempted, with five Adventure Points wagered and a roll of "1," we reduced the Threat by one more. I am really disappointed at the loss of Morgan, she was one of my favorite Warband members.
